Aquaman – New 52 | Comics

Arthur Curry is mostly known as Aquaman, who is the half-Human and half-Atlantean ruler of Atlantis. This royal adventurer serves the best interest of Atlantis along with his partner princess Mera of Xebel. He was banished by his own people after a certain time of him acting as their king. So, he and Mera moved to Boston, where they gained a much positive standing than they had in Atlantis.

They both also took a stand against The Trench; a carnivorous underwater species, who were constantly attacking the city. When Darkseid; the evil god of Apokolips reached earth with his army of Parademons, the heroes of earth were trying to protect it against the odds (Justice League – Origin).

Arthur and Mera give a chase to Black Manta following his stealing of an Artifacts of Atlantis. Then the team "The Others" was formed with six individuals each possessing an Atlantean relic. A conspiracy made Aquaman to declare war on the surface world which he and the Justice League then tackled together (Justice League – Throne of Atlantis). Arthur then faced the Dead King to rescue Mera from his clutches upon settling Atlantean civil war.

As the “Flashpoint” crossover erases and replaced the former New Earth continuity of reality, Aquaman also received a new and re-imagined origin of his own in the Prime Earth continuation of The New 52. The character that Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris have created starts his New 52 era of publishing in 2011 from DC Comics.

Aquaman Takes Charge

Aquaman continues appearing on his own monthly ongoing titles written by Geoff Johns (Flash – Rebirth, Green Lantern – Rebirth) and drawn by Ivan Reis (Blackest Night, Sinestro Corps War) as well as on the pages of the ongoing Justice League series. A film adaptation of The New 52 incarnation is to appear first time on the 2016 live action movie “Batman v Superman – Dawn of Justice”, portrayed by Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones).
